Improve tackling, dribbling and shielding skills
The Game
Play one v one, trying to score through a ‘two-sided’ goal. There is no out-of-bounds. The player in possession of the ball is the attacker, the other player, the defender. Play games of one minute in duration.
Coaching Points
Defenders: steer attacker away from the goal, tackle when ball is exposed, get goal side when possession is lost.
Attackers: try to face the defender whenever possible change speed, change direction; shield the ball when trying to maintain possession.
